- Guy Rolfe, King of the Khyber Rifles, 1953.

He tested as Karram Khan, Tyrone Power’s megalomaniacal half-brother trying to end the 100 years of UK rule in India, circa 1857.

Flemyng, Joss Ackland, Harry Andrews, Bernard Archard, Robin Bailey, George Baker, Ian Bannen, Geoffrey Bayldon, John Carson, Peter Cushing, Allan Cuthbertson, Frank Finlay, Michael Gouch, Colin Blakely, Dinsdale Landen, TP McKenna, Donald Pickering, Peter Sallis, John Standing, Patrick Stewart, Peter Vaughan… and the Z Cars cops James Ellis and Jeremy Kemp – 23 contenders for Lord Ravenworth. Phew! Standing was the most suitable as he was the the fourth baronet in his family’s line..
- Anton Diffring, Doctor Who #150: Silver Nemesis, TV, 1988. Pinewood’s top Nazi was obviously favourite for the Nazi De Flores in the 25th anniversary episode.
